Love Letters
I love creating images with my clients. I strive to give the highest quality session available and best client care possible. from the beginning to the end. some love that has been sent my way.
Heather Land took professional head shots and also did a family photo shoot for me. Both times she went above and beyond to scout out picturesque background locations ahead of time. Her natural light photography is wonderful, and I have received many compliments on the final proofs for both shoots. On top of being a talented photographer, she is also a lovely person, so you feel comfortable during the entire process and she is open to feedback and suggestions. I highly recommend Heather Land Photography, as working with her provides the value of working with a professional photographer and the ease of working with an old friend. - Kim
"I see Heather's craft as a photographer not just as an artist - but also as a caregiver. She brings that same loving care to her muses, capturing not only images of your family, but the essence of what binds you as a family. Her quite calm in life is infectious and permeates her work, creating a relaxed atmosphere where people can truly be themselves. Heather's photographs stand out and capture your attention because they resonate with feeling. Quite simply, Heather celebrates love through her work. I will look back on these photos and remember that time.
Everyone who has visited our home has commented on Heather’s amazing portraits – literally stopping them in their tracks as they ask who captured these moments of our family. Her gift is so apparent. Heather is exuberant and so very special – what a blessing that she shares her gift with the rest of us!”
A friend referred us to Heather Land and I am so thankful she did. We were looking for someone to take pictures of our 3 month old and family. Unfortunately, Heather was not available during the time we were looking for but went out of her way to find and refer us to someone that was. Due to her willingness to help and the referral from our friend, I reached back out to her when we were ready for our fall photos. I'm thankful to say she was available and so accommodating! We communicated via email and phone a handful of times prior to our shoot in which Heather made recommendations on locations, what to wear, best time of day, etc. She even made a trip to our designated location the day before to ensure it would still be a good spot (we were looking for great fall foliage). On the day of the shoot, I couldn't have asked for anything more. She was so kind and patient with us (not easy with a 2 year old and 7 month old). She didn't rush, gave guidance when needed but also let us be us. She promised us our photos back in 2 weeks and they came on time and WOW... BEAUTIFUL! The pictures were absolutely stunning - exactly what I was looking for and more. She captured us being us and the session told a wonderful story. To be honest, it warmed my heart and brought tears of joy to my eyes. We had been on the search for a photographer to work with on a regular basis and grow with our family and that is Heather Land! Thank you so much Heather!!
When one of your children hates being photographed and the other one has never encountered a mirror she isn’t in love with, you need a special person to not only understand the precious difference in siblings but appreciate who they are and the “moment” they’re in. Because that’s how kids live...in the moment. Heather has a real gift in the nuance of little people. The day this photo was taken, was the first day my 3 year old son was able to return to school after a serious illness. I had asked my daughter to be strong for my son so we could get a nice photo as he was still weak. My daughter was trying to comfort him and fell scraping her knee badly. I will always know what a difficult time of healing this was for my family, but Heather just captured two kids making each other feel good. The ying and the yang of what family should be. Her gift is a rare treasure.
I am always in awe of how Heather can capture each of my children's personalities so perfectly! Her patience working with children is something that I haven't found in any other photographer. Her photographs are always beautiful, simple and timeless and I always wait in anticipation to get to see them after a session. She is a pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed!
Heather was wonderful to work with for our family portrait session! She quickly put our family at ease, keeping our two daughters engaged and laughing through the process. We had our session at Huntley Meadows, and I appreciated how Heather had checked out the site the day before to scope out great locations and observe the lighting that time of day. We loved the results and how she captured the girls’ personalities.
Heather's approach with kids is natural and fun. As a mom, she knows that just the right touch is going to allow her to get the shots that every other mom wants of their kids. Heather has been taking my son's preschool photo for the last two years - she was the first to capture my son's personality and smile together - and we were thrilled to finally have a photo to frame of him! This year, Heather photographed both of my children. They were giddy and silly but Heather had them do fun things outside like leaning against a tree or standing on a bench (which they loved because mom would never let them do it). We ended up using her photo as my daughter's elementary school photo this year instead of the standard "school photo" she gets every year.
Heather also took my professional headshot last winter, which receives rave reviews even months later when I hand out my business card, share my website or post it on social media. Her casual yet professional demeanor make you feel like chatting with a friend while she takes some photos, walking around town - not on a photo shoot.
We will continue to work with Heather for our photography needs. Thank you always, Heather!!
Heather took photos of my son for the first time last fall. I got the email with the proofs not long after and I actually had tears in my eyes looking at them. That's how good they were. My son was a very rambunctious 2, so not only had she taken amazing photos, but she had tamed my son at the same time. I would recommend Heather to everyone because not only is she extremely good at what she does, she's a wonderful person too. Her photos are all over my house, my parents' and my in-laws' :)
